#2 Ultimo Dragon

When Ultimo Dragon joined WWE in 2003, fans had high expectations. A graduate of the New Japan Dojo, the masked Superstar had been a spectacle in WWE, and was already regarded by many as one of the greatest cruiserweights around.

But just months into his tenure, it was clear that the company had no idea what to do with him, focusing on stars like Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero, so it was no surprise that the masked sensation requested his release in 2004.

Sadly, Dragon is perhaps best remembered in his WWE tenure, for slipping during his entrance at WrestleMania 20 not once, but twice.

At least Dragon got to do two things that very few wrestlers have been able to accomplish, compete at WrestleMania, and at Madison Square Garden, feats Dragon achieved on the same night.
